Experimental investigation of the pumps for cryogenic proppellants of the rocket fuel systems
Šuráň, David ; Rudolf, Pavel (referee) ; Kozák, Jiří (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with the pumping of cryogenic substances. The main objective is a research of experimental investigation of rocket turbopumps. Specific experiments, their purposes, processes and final results including the detailed description of the test rigs are listed. Originally, the work was aimed to pumping of the liquid oxygen (LOX), but it turned out that liquid oxygen simulants are used extensively during the experimental testing. The essential conditions for comparing those substances are stated. Major references were obtained from the experimental investigation technical reports and scientific articles. The rest of the work describes basics of hydrodynamics, pumps and their parameters, cavitation, inducers, rocket combustion cycles and liquid propellants. Finally, author designed a test rig for cryogenic substances pumping.

Hydraulic design of inducer fuel pump for rocket engine
Kadlec, Jan ; Rudolf, Pavel (referee) ; Štefan, David (advisor)
The aim of this masters thesis is hydraulic design of inducer for given pump geometry and operating parameters. The first part of this thesis deals with cavitation problematic in hydrodynamic pumps. Next section describes two-dimensional design of the inducer and according to that, the 3D CAD model of inducer is made. The later part deals with thorough CFD analysis and determination of the main hydraulic parameters of inducer itself and also with whole pump completed with this inducer. The last section is devoted to inducer design improvement.

The design of an induser in front of the impeller
Klusák, Ondřej ; Stejskal, Jiří (referee) ; Haluza, Miloslav (advisor)
The main objective of the thesis is to verify the hydraulic inducer designs and to determine its effect on the cavitation characteristics of the pump. To increase the suction capability and cavitation resistance, the inducer is placed in front of the impeller centrifugal pump. Its role is to protect the impeller against the cavitation. The literary part of the thesis analyzes the issue of cavitation, its origin, development and termination of the cavitation bubble with so-called implosion. Special attention is devoted to describtion of cavitation effect occuring at the hydrodynamic pumps. In the theoretical part, the author is then dealing with the general principles and so far used approaches to the inducer design. The practical part of the thesis describes the process and the derivation of own designs of cylindrical inducer. The aim of the used, unconventional approaches to the inducer design is to achieve a constant pressure field and specific energy of the inducer design output. Partial variants of inducer blades design geometry are tested by the controlled calculation with CFD.

Hydraulic design and CFD simulation of impeller with integrated inducer
Novosad, Pavel ; Kozák, Jiří (referee) ; Štefan, David (advisor)
Cílem této práce je hydraulický návrh oběžného kola čerpadla okysličovadla pro raketový motor. Úvodní část práce je věnována rešerši podstatných pojmů a jevů, které tento návrh ovlivňují. Následuje iterativní návrh radiálního čerpadla, které je ale náchylné na vznik kavitace. Poté je proveden návrh axiálního stupně čerpadla, který má navyšovat vstupní tlak do radiálního stupně. Návrh byl založen na analytickém výpočtu 2D proudění, který byl následně za pomoci CFD analýz modifikován pro zlepšení výkonu, účinnosti a kavitační stability čerpadla. Finálním krokem je tyto dvě oběžné kola spojit do jednoho, které díky kompaktnějším rozměrům dosahuje vyšší účinnosti a je méně náročné na výrobu. Pro toto kolo jsou provedeny kontroly vůči meznímu stavu pružnosti, výskytu rezonance a náchylnosti na výskyt kavitace při nízkém sacím tlaku.

Simulace kavitační nestability v induktoru se 3 lopatkami
Sedlář, M. ; Maršík, František ; Zima, Patrik
Axial-flow inducers are used to improve cavitation performance of radial-flow or mixed-flow pumps. There is a wide range of cavitation instabilities, which can be observed during inducer operation, even at the design flow rate. The type of cavitation instability is determined by the frequency analysis. Two cavitation models were used to determine the frequency range of four different types of cavitation instabilities – CEV and VOF built in the ANSYS CFX software – for a 3-blade inducer and suction impeller of a multistage pump. The calculated values of NPSH3 were compared with experimental data for SST, SST-SAS and RSM SSG turbulence models for fully unsteady solutions. It was found that the SST-SAS model provides the most realistic picture of the backflow vortices and their oscillations.
